Aeroflex Incorporated's Subsidiary UTMC Announces a Low-Cost 4 Megabit SRAM for Space Applications.PLAINVIEW, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 27, 1999-- UTMC UTMC Urban Traffic Management and Control UTMC United Technologies Microelectronics Center UTMC Underground Terrorist Motorcycle Cult UTMC United Technologies Microelectronics Corporation UTMC Utah Microelectronic Center UTMC Unit Training Management Configuration Microelectronic Systems Inc. (UTMC) a subsidiary of Aeroflex Incorporated (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange : ARX) announced the development of a low cost family of 4 Megabit SRAMs for space-borne applications. The UTXQ512 512K x 8 memory is suited for all space applications that require high reliability combined with moderate radiation tolerance. "These products are the latest addition to UTMC's space memory family," said Anthony Jordan, UTMC standard product line manager. "UTMC offers the UTXQ512 SRAMs to satisfy an emerging need in the commercial space community and are targeted specifically for LEO satellites and communication satellite payloads. UTMC is developing a full line of cost-effective, high-density memories. Within a year we anticipate adding several additional components for the space community, including an additional 4M SRAM See static RAM. SRAM - static random-access memory with enhanced radiation hardness." "Due to the memory density requirements for advanced communication payloads, traditional radiation-hardened SRAMs are not cost effective, and alternative solutions are required," continued Jordan. "UTMC UTXQ512 SRAMs provide speed, hardness, and reliability at a low-cost. Prototypes are expected to be available in July with production delivery expected to start in August." UTMC, an Aeroflex company, is a supplier of semicustom and standard VLSI VLSI: see integrated circuit. (1) (Very Large Scale Integration) Between 100,000 and one million transistors on a chip. See SSI, MSI, LSI and ULSI.

Aeroflex Incorporated, through its subsidiaries, utilizes advanced technologies to provide state-of-the-art microelectronic module, integrated circuit integrated circuit (IC), electronic circuit built on a semiconductor substrate, usually one of single-crystal silicon. The circuit, often called a chip, is packaged in a hermetically sealed case or a nonhermetic plastic capsule, with leads extending from it for , interconnect and testing solutions used in communication applications for commercial and defense markets. It also designs and manufactures motion control systems and shock and vibration isolation Vibration isolation is the process of isolating an object, such as a piece of equipment, from the source of vibrations. Despite construction distinctions the essence of all vibration isolation systems are similar. systems used for commercial, industrial and defense applications. |
